General Unknowns Bacterium Vitality en Vida Bacteria play a vital role in our daily lives. It is therefore our right to know the importance of being able to distinguish certain strains of bacteria. With the right knowledge we would be able to come up with a cure for a disease. An identity gives way to knowledge, to better understanding and access to information on how an organism works and how we can prevent its worsening effects or isolate its benefits. Scientists have been trying to…

The musculoskeletal and energy system. The musculoskeletal system is made up of muscles, bones, ligaments, tendons and cartilage. Each part of the musculoskeletal system is controlled by the nervous system, an impulse from the nervous system results in a contraction of muscle, shortening it, causing the bone to which it is attached to move. The musculoskeletal system aids movement of the body, as well as helping to maintain posture as well as the production of heat If an Athlete takes part…

Potter (2001) mentioned that C. perfringens spores may contaminate meat and meat products either before processing and survive cooking or after processing due to unhygienic handling of prepared food. Adak et al. (2002) reported that deaths due to C. perfringens (type A) food poisoning are rare but may occur in the elderly and debilitated. It is estimated to kill seven people in the USA, and between 50 and 100 people in UK yearly. Asha and Wilcox (2002) reported that the first C. perfringens…

Vitamin A Vitamin A plays a critical role in assuring normal vision and immune function, as well as gene expression and growth (Lukaski, 2004). Vitamin A takes its active form as retinol, which we typically get from foods from animals, such as eggs, liver, dairy products, and fish oil (Benardot, 2006). Beta carotene has been established as a precursor for vitamin A, so consuming foods rich in this carotenoid is another way to obtain vitamin A in the diet (Benardot, 2006). This discussion…

Water is an important resource needed for our subsistence & is required on a global level. The various hydrologic cycles are necessary in order to preserve the balance of our ecosystem. Thus, good quality water is necessary for our survival. Chemical & biological composition are two criteria for evaluating water quality. Water hardness can be defined by the presence of divalent cations dissolved in a water sample. The divalent cations usually present are Ca2+ & Mg2+ and these cations bestow…

1. Nerve conduction tests of the ulnar, tibial, and peroneal nerves involves testing how well and quickly a nerve can send electrical signals to begin contraction of skeletal muscles. The first step in muscle contraction is excitation of a skeletal muscle fiber by a nerve signal. The nerve signal must be sent to the neuromuscular junction to open the voltage-gated calcium channels. Just like in a muscle fiber, the neuron must reach threshold potential before the action potentials can be…

Case Presentation This section of the paper focuses on a 24 years old Caucasian male who was transferred to Advocate Christ Medical Center from an outside hospital after being hit by a vehicle. According to the EMS who arrived at the scene, the patient was unresponsive with a GCS of 3. Per protocol, the patient was then intubated to sustain their airway. The patient received a CT of the head that revealed bifrontal and bitemporal hemorrhagic contusions along with multiple facial fractures. The…

increase insulin secretion and at the level of pancreatic beta cells, they increase the number of insulin receptors. At extra-pancreatic s nateglinide decreases hepatic gluconeogenesis (glucose synthesis from non-carbohydrate sources), increased glycolysis and enhances insulin action in skeletal muscle and in adipose…

With an increase of neural stimulation an increase in muscle mass can occur. Neuronal stimulation occurs during exercise. During exercise there is an increase in the amount of contractions produced in the muscle. In turn, this can result in an increase of the mass of muscle fiber. In turn, this change in muscle fiber increases the capacity for ATP production. Different types of exercises create a different change within the muscle. There are two types of exercise training, high intensity and low…

Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.), also known as Redgram, is an economically and nutritionally important grain legume crop belonging to the Cajaninae sub-tribe of the tribe Phaseoleae under sub-family Papilionoideae of family Leguminosae. Considering the vast natural genetic diversity in the germplasm and the presence of many wild relatives, India is considered as the primary center of origin of pigeonpea (Van der Maesen, 1980). It is one of the hardy, drought tolerant and important pulse…
